Import Tips
• Verify tomato content exceeds 50% by weight and ensure labeling distinguishes it from pure ketchup to avoid reclassification
• Provide Certificates of Analysis for ingredients to confirm no meat or dairy content exceeding chapter exclusions
• Check for quantitative limits on mixed condiments under US Note 3 if blended with non-tomato seasonings
